• CO127-040 Souterrain
  Description

  Underneath a road in an area of SE-sloping pasture overlooking the mouth of Bantry Bay.

  Description

  In pasture, on a S-facing slope overlooking the mouth of Bantry Bay. A circular area (diam. 20m NW-SE) is enclosed by a scarp (Wth 0.8m; H 0.6m) SE-SW and by intermittent traces of a low earthen bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.35m) SW-NW. From NW-NE the rath has been cut into the upslope (D 0.1-0.25m) and from NE-SE it is truncated by a stone field boundary. The interior, in pasture, slopes gently down to the S. The field is known as 'Gort a' Leasa'. An anomalous stone group (CO127-042----) is located c. 50m to the SSW. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

• CO127-042 Anomalous stone group
  Description

  In pasture, on a S-facing slope overlooking the mouth of Bantry Bay. A stone slab (H 1.1m; 2.35m x 0.2m) is aligned NE-SW and leans to the SE. The top of the stone slopes down to the NE, except at the SW end, which appears to have been broken off. A smaller slab lies prostrate beside the SW end and further smaller broken stones are partially covered by grass along the SE side of the slab. The slab has the appearance of a sidestone of a wedge tomb, however, there is not enough surface evidence to confirm this. A standing stone (CO127-018----) is situated 80m to the WSW and there are two children's burial grounds nearby, one (CO127-044----) c. 50m to the NNE and the other (CO127-043----) 170m to the SW. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

• CO127-054 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In rough pasture, on the NW side of a road with rising rocky slopes to the N. A raised D-shaped area with the straight side at SE (L 25m) is enclosed by a low intermittent bank (Wth 4-4.5m; int. H 0.05-0.2m; ext. H 0.7m to the base of the fosse) and an external fosse (Wth 2.2m; D 0.2m below outer ground level) WSW-ENE. The straight side is formed by an overgrown WSW-ENE roadside field boundary. The interior, in pasture, is level. The area outside the fosse is wet and covered with irises and rushes. An ESB pole was recently erected on the bank at W. The remains are probably that of a rath that was truncated by the road. No enclosing element is visible on the SE side of the road. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
